They heard a pop and then the fire was going! Was not a dull day. Had a dump truck that had 2 horses all quartered on it's way to the landfill throw a belt. Apparently it's an odd size because no one had the belt. I had to go out twice and with7 serpintine belts in hand the truck made it to the landfill!

Got to watch over a dozen blow once. Was dirt riding on a hill north of Phoenix, could see most of the valley from there, late evening and just taking a look as the lights came on and saw this gray and black mass pour over the south mountains and into Phoenix, like some kind of horror movie scene. As it swept across the city, were bright blue flashes and each one had a section of city black out with it. Pretty much the whole valley went dark in a few minutes.

Hey Mike! Yes, it is. Greg has mentioned he was Dennying his bike so I might make a pass with a wet rag on mine soon....ya know, while my pigs ni a blanket are cooking after my mornin coffee. I cannot be shamed by the 'stache AND a cleaner bike! Though I am sure both will happen anyway

Good luck with the run. Weather going to hold out for ya?

When ya first meet up with Greg, just go and kick some dirt on his bike and give him a cookie. You will be alright after that.
